Facts Showing That 1t Does Not Greatly
Interest Religious People
This paragraph is going the rounds
of the newspapers:
"Philadelphia publishers say the re-
vised Bible has fallen fat. Hundreds
of thousands of copies remain or the
shelves, and the people will not nave
them at any price. The old Bible is
good enough. Stick to it,
ut is true" said gentleman to a
reporter, THAT there has been a fall
ing off as compared with the demand
when the revised Bible first appeared,
but there has not been such falling
Off as to warrant that statement.
There is a steady sale. and a slight in
crease has begun. There has never
been the same demand for the Bible
as for the New Testament in the re-
vised FORM
At the rooms of the Massachusetts
Bible Society it was said that sixty
copies of the st. James version were
still sold for every one of the revised
There was a tendency to criticise the
change which makes less definite dis
tinction between chapters. The price
of the old version is also lower, and
an octave edition of the revised Bible
a. ST.. SO is no better a book than that
published by the society at seventy
five cents.
'That statement is strictly true, "
said Mr.. Upham, book dealer. ''The
revised version has fallen fiat. 1t has
not been adopted by the Episcop al
clergy of this country or of England.
Bishop Williams hit the matter rightly
when he said the revisers were so
saturated with Greek that they forgot
how to use their English correctly.
The issuing of the work has been from
the start case of how not to do it.
The work is too expensive, the type is
too small, and it is otherwise unde-
sirable. We have no demand for it. ="
cit sells very slow, indeed, with us, ="
was the answer at the Universalist
publishing house. ''There has been
some little call for the revised New
Testiment, but | see nothing that indi-
Gates any general use of the book"
Mr.. Magee, of the Methodist book
establishment, said: ''These are my
sentiments. The revised version is
no good as an article of merchandise
and we would not venture to order a
half dozen copies at one time. The
people have no confidence in it, and
are not willing to adopt the mere
verbal changes. - Boston Journal.

Uncomfortable Ornaments for GentIemen's
Canes and Umbrellas.
The extent to which idiotic cane
heads and umbrella handles will be
carried is capable OF astonishing if not
horrifying the beholders. There have
been plenty of the grotesque monstrosi-
ties on exhibition among silly young
men ever since oxidized silver came
into fashion. A favorite thing has
a handle of carved wood, deliberately
painted, representing an uncanny head,
half human and half beast. A college
graduate sat in an orchestra chair at a
theater with a cane in his mouth most
of the time. The device was an oxi-
died silver skull as big as en'sssegg,
and on top of the skull there crawled
an enameled lizard. The we'll educated
young man sat and chewed this lizard
in a way to madden any delicate woman
in his vicinity. In a New York store win
dow were lately shown stand of fifty
of the most villainous inventions ever
put on the tops of canes or umbrellas.
Inside, and from a handsome case, the
polite attendant produced cane and
umbrella, to which the same knob could
be attached. and in fair weather or foul
the happy possessor could make him
self terror to society. The knob was
large skull of oxidized silver, with a
flexible jaw that wriggled at you as you
moved it. while from the eyeless sockets
on the slightest agitation there pro-
truded the heads of two snakes. TWAS
thing to make one shudder, but the
proprietor spoke with pride of being
the only importer of this Internal de-
sign.
Robert Heller used to wear an enam-
eled skull as scarf pin. An eyeghss
made OF an emerald occupied one
socket, and by connecting battery in
his pocket he made the dreadful little
thing chatter its teeth in a truly hair
standing fashion. But Robert was a
disciple of the black art. and it was his
business to surround himself with the
attributes of diabolism. The usual
young monkey who buys such toys
hasn't the brains to become a presti-
diritator. and is only social nuisance.
